Summary: SURPRISINGLY EXCELLENT!
Review: I never expected to like this movie. I thought it was more hype than substance. Since that ill-conceived little notion, I have watched this movie over and over, never tiring of it. This is the mark of a true classic - when you find yourself slipping it into the VCR/DVD every so often. It is for me a movie that will endure and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Tom Hanks' best performance
Review: Forrest Gump ( Tom Hanks ) is a decent man that is also mentally challenged. He is raised in the south alone by his mother
(Sally Field), and is in love with his childhood best friend Jenny (Robin Wright). Forrest soon realizes that his ability as a runner is going to take him places. As a college football star he meets John F. Kennedy; as he fights in Vietnam he wins the medal of honor; and as a talented ping pong player, he defeats the Chinese national team causing him to meet and be recognized by Nixon. Forrest goes on to become a succesful shrimp boat captain, and an original investor in Apple conputers. But he still cannot forget his one true love Jenny, who we watch go down a path in the 1960's and 70's that is nothing but trouble. These with all the other memorable events in Forrest's charmed life really provides for a memorable and emotional experience!! Forrest Gump is one of my all time favorite films. It offers an extremely original story. The script is incredible and offers brilliant and funny dialogue which makes all of the film's actors do a great job. Tom Hanks was very deserving of the oscar that he won for this film. It is the best performance of his career. He truly captured the essence of Forrest Gump with his simple nature, his love for Jenny, and his life in general. Gary Sinese was amazing as Captain Dan. He was actually my favorite character in the film. Robin Wright does an incredible job as Jenny. Sally Fields does a nice job with the limited amount of screen time she has as Forrest's mom. Mykelti Williamson gave the most surprising performance with his portrayal of Forrest's friend Bubba. His endless knowledge about Shrimp will make you laugh and the friendship between Forrest and him is very touching. The film also has excellent special effects. The news reel footage that Hanks' is spliced into is very realistic and convincing. They provide for some of the funniest moments in the film. Forrest Gump is a true masterpiece that offers brilliant performances, a detailed look at our nation's history, an incredible script, and mind blowing special effects. It is truly one of a kind! The DVD is great. The 2 disc special edition really lets you see the film in a whole new light! It offers 5 unbelieveable featurettes that go into the making of the film, the makeup, the sound effects, the production design, and the visual effects! Not to mention the presentation of the film is top notch. If there was one film that you were looking to own on DVD, it should definately be Forrest Gump.

Summary: Utterly improbable, utterly delightful, utterly heartwarming
Review: Tom Hanks can play everything: hero, castaway, romantic lead, and now a sweet dull-witted guy in love with his childhood playmate. Forrest Gump manages to be at the center of many pivotal events of the 20th century: Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Vietnam, ML King, etc. Thanks to a connection made during his war years with a shrimp-loving guy from Louisiana, he falls easily into wealth and becomes a charitable benefactor.
Meanwhile, his childhood love has fallen victim to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and suffers the consequences, leaving Forrest to raise the son that they conceived during what we are led to believe is Gump's one and only sexual experience.
Superb visual effects put Gump into real newsreel clips, and OH! The sound track!
Don't miss it.

Summary: loaded with Oscar worthy performances
Review: I saw this movie when I was 11, and remember it being one of the first films I knew was actually genius. This movie is where I got the little history I know from. One of Robin Wright's 2 breakthrough performances (along with Princess Bride) and another of Hank's Oscar winning roles (greatly deserved). And you can't mention great performances without mentioning those by Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. Too bad they all couldn't have won Oscars.
I was really excited about the special edition DVD and was not disappointed. Highlights include 2 commentarys, audition footage of a 5 year old Haley Joel Osment, a documentary and special effects footage. The technological advancements made with this film are spectacular and it's really interesting to see just how difficult things that may only appear on screen for a few seconds were to film, take after take. I greatly respect and admire all those involved with this film. And agree with everyone that includes this movie as one of the classics.
